The prosthetics fitted after above knee amputations clearly call for the inclusion of an artificial knee joint. Giant steps have been made in the design of prosthetic knee joints, and today’s major manufacturers include such names as Quantum, Ohio Willow Wood, Ossur, Endolite and Otto Bock. The latter is a German company that manufactures the C-Leg, a fully microprocessor-controlled knee joint. There are more than 35,000 satisfied C-Leg wearers throughout the world. We are registered fitters of the C-Leg and have three users in South Africa. You will find more detailed information about the C-Leg artificial knee joint under a separate tab in the menu bar. |
